Global Warming

A bad storm is a bad storm.

Funny how you seem to know so much more than highly educated climatologists. . . Exactly where did you get your education and degree again? 

[me]

Since when is Al Bore a climatologist?  For that matter I don't recall any of you saying you were either.

"We" use validated science vetted via peer review, and from accredited resources.

You use conjecture and "say it and it is so" methodology.

Different scientists with different opinions not bought and paid for by someone who stands to make a fortune.

That would be the "say it and it is so" methodology you are using there. . .

So the scientists I happen to agree with, even though they are every bit as qualified as the ones you believe, are not correct?  Like I've said before, too bad they weren't around during the ice age maybe they could have prevented that by changing the dinosaurs eating habits so they wouldn't put so much methane into the air.

Uh, the only scientists you happen to agree with are those making a fortune being paid by the oil industry.  Learn to think.

And the scientists you chose to agree with are paid by Al Bore who stands to make a mint.  What's the difference?

Because his statement is true, and yours clearly isn't even well thought out.    I honestly can't even believe you post some of the absolutely ridiculous crap that you do. 

[followsthewolf]

I can.

And you know his statement is true because?

So, you are asserting that Al Gore is personally paying thousands of climate scientists all over the world to agree with him?  How, exactly, does he stand to, "make a mint," from that?

Al Gore, the former US vice president, could become the world's first carbon billionaire after investing heavily in green energy companies.


7:00AM GMT 03 Nov 2009

Last year Mr Gore's venture capital firm loaned a small California firm $75m to develop energy-saving technology.

The company, Silver Spring Networks, produces hardware and software to make the electricity grid more efficient.

The deal appeared to pay off in a big way last week, when the Energy Department announced $3.4 billion in smart grid grants, the New York Times reports. Of the total, more than $560 million went to utilities with which Silver Spring has contracts.

The move means that venture capital company Kleiner Perkins and its partners, including Mr Gore, could recoup their investment many times over in coming years.

Few people have been as vocal about the urgency of global warming and the need to reinvent the way the world produces and consumes energy as Mr Gore. And few have put as much money behind their advocacy and are as well positioned to profit from this green transformation, if and when it comes.

Carbon credits.

I think any smart investor would be doing well to invest in solid alternative energy companies.  That notwithstanding, your assertion that Gore is somehow paying thousands of international climate scientists is absurd.

You, of course, are free to believe whatever delusion you choose despite however completely it might differ from what you can see right outside of your window...if you care to look.
